The fight between Jeu Smith and
Jake Kllrain, near Roucn, France, yes
terday, appears to be the burden of the
cables message. Yesterdays dispatches
to TnE Carrie described the difficulties
attending the selection of fighting
place, and stated TINT the contest would
begin in the afternoon. The fight that
followed was OF suct duration that the
result was not known In London until
after o'clock at night. tits statcdthat
one hundred and six rounds were fought
and that both men stood their punish-
ment well, Kilrain forcing the fighting
and showing that he was determined to
win, but darkness stopped the fight.
The Englishman was u hot favorite in
the betting, but Kilrain fought SO well
that the Englishmen present compli-
mcntcd him highly. Smith began his
slipping tactics when he found that Kill
rain was too much for him, hoping to
delay the fight until darkness, and in
this he succeeded. The referee called
the fight and ordered the mon to their
corners. At first it was decided to have
the fight 60 on to-day, but afterward it
was decided to call the fight draw.
